These perk choices really make you think. Even though I'm choosing the perks below, there are certain perks that will still pain me not to have. I guess this is good.

I'm going to sacrifice my Secondary and Lethal and go with:

Quickdraw

Marathon

Off the Grid

Sitrep

Wiretap

If I find that pretty much the entire enemy team is using Off the Grid, then I'll drop Wiretap and use either Stopper, Painkiller or Tac Resist. I'll have to experiment with these options. ...maybe I'll drop Wiretap and mix it up between lethal and tactical equipment.

I've heard some say that you can change soldiers mid-game, other have said that you can only switch them before the match. Each of the 10 soldiers have 6 custom classes. It'll make a huge difference if you can change soldiers and their classes mid-game or not.

Mark Rubin stated in one of the IGN videos released this week that you can switch Soldiers mid-game. I think it was the first one, but damn I’ll have to watch them again to be sure! Go check em out as there awesome, he shows the load-out system and how to create a class etc. Some cool new customisation and features, especially the gun swap animation and knife only character:-

Even though I had better stats in MW3, MW2 was almost the perfect game for me (less OMA, the tubing and 1887 dual shotguns). Powerful guns, lethals, perks, kills streaks and maps conducive to all play styles. Up until MW3 I never used any stealth perks like cold blooded or ghost and I never complaining about others using it. Unfortunately we get the endless whining from some to nerf everything except the stuff they use.

If it weren't for the hacks I would be still be playing MW2 using stopping power, scavenger and ninja with my ACOG scoped ACR using Harrier, Pave Low and Chopper Gunner. As a result of the endless complaining I have weak and boring perks, kill streaks, lethals and maps to play with a shift to the SMG as the most dominant weapons.
